LCD REMOTE CONTROLLER RC2000MKII• The Marantz RC2000MKII remote control unit

is a “learning”-type, programmable unit capable ofcontrolling almost any component in your system, as wellas the Marantz D-BUS components (RC-5). The com-ponents to be controlled can be selected with ten but-tons.

OPERATIONThe remote control unit (RC2000MKII) is a

system remote controller. The POWER button 5, 10-keynumeric buttons B and control buttons E are used in

common across different input source components.

The input source system controlled with theRC2000MKII, such as receiver and AV amplifer changes

the input when one of the input selector buttons 9 is

pressed.Example: To select the LD player as the input source for

receiver and play an LD on it

Press the LD button twice with in 2 seconds.

The input function of the receiver is switched

to LD and the RC2000MKII is set for controlof the LD player.

Press the PLAY button © to play an LD.

FUNCTION AND OPERATION

1 MODE (operating mode)This button is used to change from normal operation tothe learning mode, and is used when “learning” com-mands from other brands of A/V components. Eachtime this button is pressed (using a small pointed in-strument, such as the tip of a paper clip) the modechanges as follows: LEARN → USE → NAME. As themode changes, the LCD display will show which modeis currently selected.

2 MACRO (for multiple step macro functions)This button is used to memorize a series of functions.When this button is pressed, the RC2000MKII changesto macro programming mode, and is ready to learn asequence of remote control commands.

3 CLONEThe RC2000MKII has the ability to “replicate” itself,downloading all of its internal pre-programmed and user-programmed commands to another RC2000MKII. Thisbutton is used when you wish to “teach” anotherRC2000MKII all of the customized commands you’vealready programmed in this RC2000MKII.

4 POWER ON and OFFThese two buttons are used to turn the main compo-nent’s (amplifier or receiver) AC power on and off. Weprovide both ON and OFF commands so that your A/Vsystem is remote compatible with external infrared con-trollers, such as in-wall key pads, etc.

5 SOURCE ON/OFFThis button is used to turn the AC power on and off toany of your A/V source components that have their ownremote control turn-on and turn-off commands, such asTV, laser disc player, VCR, etc.

6 MACRO 1-4Each of these 4 buttons can be programmed with a“string” of commands, called a macro, to initiate a se-quence of remote codes to achieve a particular result.For example, a macro button could be programmed toturn on the main system power, then turn on a particularsource component (such as a laser disc player), then turnon the PD4292D, and then adjust the surround proces-sor to the home theater surround decoding mode, thenactivate the laser disc player’s PLAY function. Thismeans that by pressing one macro button, you canachieve the same result as pushing up to 20 buttons insequence.

7 DIRECTWith today’s high performance A/V systems, it is notunusual for each component in your system to have doz-ens of specialized command functions. If we were toduplicate all of those commands for each componentonto the RC2000MKII key pad, we could easily exceed300 buttons for an entire home theater system, whichwould result in either a huge key pad, or buttons of in-finitesimal size. The DIRECT command buttons (4 oneach side of the LCD display, 8 total) work with thePAGE buttons (4 pages for each source component) toprovide up to 32 dedicated specialized functions for eachof the 10 function input selectors. Each DIRECT func-tion may also be provided with an alpha-numeric func-tion indicator visible in the LCD display. You may evenchange the displayed name of each function to anothername, if you wish.

8 PAGEUsed to select any 1 of the 4 pages of 8 functions foreach DIRECT button, as explained above.

9 FUNCTIONPress one of these buttons once or twice to select a par-ticular source component. For example, to set the am-plifier or receiver to the laser disc input, press the LDbutton twice within 2 seconds. Along with the sourceselection, special functions may become available (theDIRECT keys), as well as activating the transport func-tion keys, so that you can now directly operate the laserdisc player from the RC2000MKII. If you wish, youmay even re-program the status indicators in the LCDwindow to reflect your own particular function namewhenever that source (function) button is selected.

Here are the button names and their functions:LD : Laser disc playerTV : T e l e v i s i o nVCR : Video cassette recorderDSS/MD : Digital satellite decoder or mini disc playerAUX : Can be used for an auxiliary source com-

ponentTUNER : AM/FM tuner, or AM/FM tuner section of

a receiverCD : Compact disc player or changerTAPE : Audio tape deck, or digital audio recorderAMP : Amplifier or receiver control functionsDVD : Digital video disc player

Note: Press a function selector button only once toselect the LD player, etc.Remember, when you press a function selector buttononly once, the RC2000MKII will not send out a remotecontrol code to instruct the amplifier or receiver tochange to that corresponding input, but theRC2000MKII keypad and DIRECT function commandswill provide the selected component’s specialized re-mote control codes. Press a function selector buttontwice within 2 seconds to change the function of theamplifier or receiver.For example, if you press the LD function button twicewithin 2 seconds, the amplifier or receiver’s input willimmediately be switched to the laser disc input, and thekeypad and DIRECT function commands for laser discoperation will be activated. Press the CD function but-ton only once, the amplifier or receiver’s input will notswitch to the CD input, however the RC2000MKIIkeypad and DIRECT function commands for compactdisc operation will be activated.We have provided 10 popular function command selec-tor buttons, based upon the typical input selections avail-able with most quality A/V amplifiers (or receivers) in-cluding popular Marantz models.The function button DSS/MD is a little different fromthe others, in that when you press this button, theRC2000MKII will send out a command to the amplifieror receiver to switch to the DSS input, and then the

3

RC2000MKII keypad and DIRECT function commandswill be configured for DSS (digital satellite system) con-trol. We have included DSS commands within theRC2000MKII’s pre-programmed memory for RCAbrand DSS equipment. If you have another brand ofDSS, you can “teach” the RC2000MKII with the re-mote control codes of your equipment.

0 LCD windowThe LCD window provides a wealth of information,including function selection name, DIRECT functionnames, learning and programming steps, as well as use-ful indicators for battery status, and helpful indicators.The LCD window features back-lighting, making it easyto view when the room ambient light is very low.

A Volume up (+) and down (-)Used to raise and lower the main system volume level.Note that these buttons are clearly the largest size, andare conveniently located and contoured for easy opera-tion, even in low lighting.

B Ten keypadLike a telephone key pad, the ten number buttons (0-9)are used to enter numeric digits, useful for finding aspecific track on a CD, or to tune a pre-set radio station,etc.

C MEMOThis button is used to program your CD player’s trackmemory, or to enter a VCR recording program, and canbe used to provide the MEMO function included withother components in your system.

D CLEARThis button is used to cancel certain memory or pro-gramming operations.

E Transport control functionsThese buttons provide transport commands for yoursource components, such as laser disc player, CD player,VCR, audio tape deck, etc., and are dependent on thefunction source selected. For example, when theRC2000MKII is set to LD (laser disc) mode, the trans-port keys will operate the laser disc player’s PLAY,STOP, PAUSE, FAST FORWARD, FAST REVERSE,NEXT and PREVIOUS track functions. Change theRC2000MKII function selector to VCR, and these keyswill then operate the VCR’s transport command func-tions, etc.

F CURSOR buttonsSome components feature menus that are navigated withup, down, left and right direction commands. The cur-sor buttons can be used to navigate within on-screenmenus, for components such as amplifier or receiver,PD4292D, DSS/satellite tuner, etc. These buttons arealso used for certain RC2000MKII programming func-tions.

G MUTEFor those components (such as amplifier or receiver, etc.)with a mute function, this button can be used to mutethe sound temporarily.

H GUIDEThis button is intended for owners of DSS (digital sat-ellite system) or similar equipment, to activate the on-screen programming guide, used when changing chan-nels etc.

I OSD (On Screen Display)Some components, such as an amplifier or receiver,PD4292D, etc., feature on screen display for operationand/or programming. The OSD button can be used toactivate the on screen display, or turn it off if desired.

J LIGHTINGPress this button to activate the back-lit LCD screen andback-lit keys independently SETUP mode. A quicktouch is all that is necessary. The back-lighting willremain on for 3 seconds. If you wish, you can even re-program the RC2000MKII to shorten or lengthen theamount of time the back-lighting is activated when thisbutton is pressed.

K Channel up(▲), down(▼)Press this button to change the tuner, DSS or VCR pre-set channels to upward or downward.

L Transmitter windowInfrared signals will emanate from behind this window.Simply aim the RC2000MKII towards the component(s)you wish to control. You may find that the RC2000MKIIworks fine when placed on a coffee table pointing to-wards your A/V system components.

M Receiving windowUsed when learning commands from other remotes, thiswindow is placed at the bottom of the RC2000MKII, sothat the two remotes are vertically oriented for easy trans-fer of remote control information. Later in this guidewe will show you which of the RC2000MKII buttonscan be “taught” new commands from other components.

Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) WindowWithin this display, all operating messages (function

name, mode names, etc.) are shown. When a particularbutton is pressed (such as a transport command, like

PLAY), its status will be shown in the display for 1

minutes. The display will continue to show the sourcefunction selected continuously, however.

a Function indication:The selected source function is displayed, such as LD,TV, etc., up to 6 characters maximum.

b Status indication:The selected status of the present page, or other items,is displayed, up to 9 characters maximum.

c Direct commands:8 DIRECT commands are available in 1 page, up to 4characters maximum.

d Battery indicator:When the batteries are running low, this indicator willbecome visible. At this point, it will not be possible tolearn any new remote codes, but normal remote controloperation is still provided (including the use of any pre-viously learned codes). At this point, you should con-sider changing the batteries soon. As time goes on, andthe battery power diminishes further, this indicator willbegin blinking. At this point, no remote commands willbe transmitted. This is your signal to replace the batter-ies with fresh ones as soon as possible. Eventually, ifyou ignore the blinking battery indicator and do not in-stall fresh batteries, then the batteries may eventuallybe totally exhausted, and the LCD display window willbe completely blank. However, any previously learnedcommands and macros will not be erased from the mi-croprocessor’s memory.

The RC2000MKII is supplied with a full set of RC-5remote control codes in permanent (non-volatile)memory. Even if the batteries are fully exhausted, theRC-5 codes (used for Marantz A/V components) andlearned codes will never disappear.

We recommend that you use a quality brand of alkalinebatteries, for best results and longest life. Newly avail-able lithium “AA” batteries can even provide longer lifethan alkaline batteries, and are also recommended.

e Transmit indicator:When a button is pressed, this indicator shows that aninfrared code is being transmitted.

f USE indicator:For normal operation, the USE indicator should be vis-ible.

g LEARN indicator:Visible when the RC2000MKII is set to LEARN mode.

h NAME indicator:Visible when the RC2000MKII is in the learning mode,and function naming is being changed.

i PAGE or MACRO indicator:This indicator usually functions in association with thePAGE button ,, but also functions as the MACRO indi-cator when tne MACRO button n is pressed.

j e indicator:Visible when the RC2000MKII is set the beep function.

Installing the batteries:The battery compartment is located on the rear panel.Please use only alkaline or lithium batteries, “AA” size.The RC2000MKII requires four AA batteries. There aremarkings in the battery compartment to show you the properbattery orientation. If after installing the batteries, youcannot see any indication in the LCD window when a but-ton is pressed, re-check to ensure that the batteries are prop-erly positioned in the compartment.

RC2000MKII Basic OperationUSE Mode:As supplied from the factory, the RC2000MKII is already permanentlyprogrammed with many pre-set commands common to Marantz andPhilips equipment, as well as other brands of components that utilize thePhilips RC-5 remote control language.1. If the RC2000MKII is in another mode (LEARN, etc.), press the

operation mode button 1 with the tip of a paper clip, until the USEindication appears.

2. Press one of the function buttons 9, such as LD (refer to Figure 1).

Figure 1

3. “LD” will be indicated within the LCD window, and the functioncodes will be set to operate the laser disc player, press the functionbutton again within 2 seconds as well as changing the amplifier orreceiver’s input to laser disc.

4. Now you can operate the laser disc player. When a button is pressed,the symbol indicates that a remote code is being transmitted.Note that for a particular source component, not every button mayhave a command programmed for it. In that case, nothing would beindicated.

5. Using the DIRECT buttons D-1 through D-8, PAGEs 1 through 4, upto 32 different specialized commands are available for each FUNC-TION, up to a total of 320 specialized commands (32 direct com-mands times 10 functions). Note that for any particular functionselector, not all 32 direct commands may be provided and/or namedas supplied from the factory.

6. For example, the RC2000MKII is supplied from the factory with 3pages of DIRECT commands for the LD (laser disc) function. Tochange pages, press the page direction § or © buttons 8:

Page 1: MODE: Side A/B laser disc playback functionsPage 2: L D: Specialized laser disc functionsPage 3: R E C: Recording from laser disc to VCR functions

At this point, you may wish to put this guide aside temporarily, andbegin using the RC2000MKII with your A/V system. If you alreadyhave any Marantz components, or Philips and/or other brands of com-ponents that use the RC-5 remote control language, you can begincontrolling those components with the RC2000MKII right away. Takesome time to become comfortable with the operation of theRC2000MKII. We think that its intuitive key pad layout and easy toread LCD window will permit you to quickly become familiar withits operation.If you do not have any Marantz or other brands of components thatuse the Philips RC-5 remote control language, then you may wish toproceed to the next section, which will describe the steps necessaryto “teach” your RC2000MKII remote codes from other componentsyou may have in your system.

LEARN mode:The RC2000MKII has the ability to learn remote codes for just about anycomponent in your A/V system. If the original component was suppliedwith an infrared remote control, its commands can be learned by theRC2000MKII. If you have another brand of laser disc player, for exam-ple, you can program the RC2000MKII with its codes.For example, we’ll show you how to “teach” the RC2000MKII com-mands from another brand of laser disc player.1. Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip), press the opera-

tion MODE button 1. Within the LCD display, the LEARN indica-tor will begin blinking.

2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller sothat its transmitter window (usually at the top) is facing the infraredsensor window of the RC2000MKII (at the bottom), about 5 cm (2inches) apart.

3. Press the LD function button on the RC2000MKII.4. Press the play button ⁄5 on the RC2000MKII.

5. Press and hold the corresponding play button on the laser disc play-er’s remote transmitter until the “OK” indicator appears in theRC2000MKII LCD window (see Figure 2) or the beeps sounds emit(if the beep sound function is set ).

Figure 2

If the “AGAIN” indicator appears in the RC2000MKII LCD win-dow, it means that for some reason the command was not properlylearned. Repeat steps 3, 4 and 5 above.In the unlikely event that an infrared command cannot be learned bythe RC2000MKII, “NG” (no good) will appear in the LCD window,meaning that the command is not “learnable”. The RC2000MKIIhas been tested for compatibility with a very wide range of infraredremote control frequencies and data word lengths, but in some veryrare instances, it may not be possible to learn a particular remotecontrol command.Continue to “teach” the RC2000MKII the rest of the source trans-mitter’s transport function commands, such as stop, pause, next, pre-vious, fast forward and rewind, by repeating steps 3, 4 and 5 above.

6. Proceed to learn the numeric “10 keys” from the source transmitterto the RC2000MKII’s 10 key numeric pad ⁄2 by repeating steps 3, 4and 5 above.

7. For each additional function, such as TV, VCR, etc., repeat steps 3, 4and 5 above. During the LEARN operation, if any button is notpressed within 1 minute, the RC2000MKII will revert back to theprevious (non-LEARN) operating mode (USE).• To make a function button learn a code, switch the input function

then press the button again.8. After memorizing all desired remote codes, press the operation mode

button 1 with the tip of a paper clip, and select the USE mode. TheLCD display window will continue to display the USE indicator, andall of the newly memorized codes will be available (see Figure 3).

Figure 3

For any button for which a new code was not learned, the factoryprogrammed RC-5 code will still transmitte as usual.

Note: POWER ON/OFF 4 code can be learned regardless of thefunction button selection:

Programming the DIRECT mode buttons 7:The following example will show how to memorize the SIDE-A functioncommand of another brand of laser disc player into the D1 direct button.1. Using a sharp point (such as the tip of a paper clip), press the opera-

tion MODE button 1 to switch the RC2000MKII to LEARN mode.2. Place the laser disc player’s supplied infrared remote controller so

that its transmitter window is facing the infrared sensor window ofthe RC2000MKII about 5 cm (2 inches) apart.

3. Press the LD function button 9 on the RC2000MKII.4. Using the direct function page keys § and © 8, set the direct func-

tion to Page 1. Press the D-1 button 7 on the RC2000MKII.

5. Press and hold the corresponding SIDE-A button on the laser discplayer’s remote transmitter until the “OK” indicator appears in theRC2000MKII LCD window or beep sounds emit. The RC2000MKIIchanges to the RENAME mode automatically as next step. A func-tion name of the DIRECT function button is blinked, you can re-name this blinking function name. You input the desired letter ornumber with the ten keypad. (See the table in step 3 of the nextprocedure to referece.) If you need not to rename, press the OKbutton and other button except the ten keypad.

6. Now, proceed to program the other commands from the laser discplayer’s remote transmitter to the other DIRECT function buttons(D2-D8). When you have “taught” all 8 direct functions for Page 1,press the page direction key © 8 to go to Page 2, and you can pro-gram more direct function keys.

7. After memorizing all codes to all DIRECT function buttons, pressthe operation MODE button 1 with the tip of a paper clip and returnthe RC2000MKII to the USE mode. Now, the newly memorizedcodes are usable from the RC2000MKII.

If you wish, you can re-write the names for each function name, statusname, and the direct function command names as follows:For our example, you can change the LCD display window indicationfrom “LD” to “LV-520” (which is the model number for a Marantz laserdisc player). Remember, you can re-name a function selector button witha new name of up to six characters of letters and numbers in any combi-nation.1. Using the tip of a paper clip, press the operation MODE button 1

until the NAME indicator appears and begins to blink in the LCDwindow.

2. Choose a button that you wish to re-name, in this case, press the“LD” function button 9. In the LCD window, the first character ofthe six function character display indicators starts blinking “A”, whichis the first letter of the alphabet.

3. Choose the desired letter or number by pressing the 10 keypad but-tons B. Each 10 keypad button has 4 characters attached to it asfollows:

10 key pad button Press, press again, press again, etc.

1 1 → A → B → C → 1 → ........etc.2 2 → D → E → F → 2 → ........etc.3 3 → G → H → I → 3 → ........etc.4 4 → J → K → L → 4 → ........etc.5 5 → M → N → O → 5 → ........etc.6 6 → P → Q → R → 6 → ........etc.7 7 → S → T → U → 7 → ........etc.8 8 → V → W → X → 8 → ........etc.9 9 → Y → Z → / → 9 → ........etc.0 0 → + → — → SPACE → , → ’ → 0 ........etc.

So, in the above example, by pressing the 10 keypad number 4 four times,you get the letter “L” to appear in the display (see Figure 4).

Figure 4

4. You use the cursor buttons § and © F to move to the next characterin the display. By pressing the right cursor button ©, the letter “L”is confirmed in the first character space in the LCD window and thenext character position begins blinking. If you wish to erase a previ-ously memorized character, position the cursor over the characterand put the SPACE character in its place (the SPACE character is tenkey pad number 0 pressed four times, from the above character chart).

5. Continuing along, re-write the remaining letters “V”, “–”, “5”, “2”,and “0”. By pressing the cursor keys § and ©, each character isconfirmed in place. When you go to other DIRECT function pagesby using the page function keys 8, characters in the previous pageare also confirmed in place.The name re-writing operation must be done on a function by func-tion basis, that is, re-write the names for all of the LD direct func-tions, then switch to another function such as VCR, and begin the re-writing process anew to re-name the VCR direct function commands.

How to re-write the STATUS name:Using the same steps as outlined above, you can re-write the 9 characterstatus name. During step 5 above, by pressing the up and down cursorkeys ⁄6 the left side of the status indicator begins blinking, and you canchange its display according to the same method outlined above, usingthe 10 keypad character generator. Remember, to confirm each characterchange, use the cursor keys § and ©. As above, when you change thedirect function page by pressing the page direction keys 8, this will con-firm the re-written characters in place as well for the page you just fin-ished re-naming. You have up to 9 letters, numbers or other charactersavailable for each status name.

How to re-write the DIRECT function button names:You can change the name for each of the 8 direct function buttons byusing the steps described above to change main function name and statusname. Remember, each main function has 8 direct function buttons oneach of the 4 pages, so you have up to 32 direct functions that can be re-named, if you wish, for each of the 10 main function selection buttons9. You have up to 4 characters available for each direct function buttonname.After completing all re-writing of any of the names, press the OK buttonwithin the cursor keys F, or switch to another function button (such asCD). If, during re-naming, a button has not been pressed for 1 minutes,the RC2000MKII will revert to the prior operating mode (USE) auto-matically.If re-writing of all of the desired direct mode functions has been com-pleted, use the pen tip to press the operation MODE button 1, and selectthe “USE” mode. Now, all of the re-written names are available for use.

How to clear (erase) the memorized codes(and any re-written names):The RC2000MKII has a high capacity RAM, which ordinarily will allowthe learning of several hundred remote codes (and their associated newnames, if desired). However, due to the fact that some remote codes oc-cupy more memory space than others, it is possible that the availableRAM fills up completely, and the “FULL” indicator appears in the LCDwindow. In this case, it will not be possible to learn any new remotecodes without first deleting some or all of the previously learned remotecodes and/or re-written names. There are 4 ways to erase learned remotecodes from memory:

• Erasing by button(s)• Erasing by DIRECT button(s)• Erasing by function(s)• Erasing all memory contents (complete erasure)•• Note that the factory-programmed RC-5 codes are not stored in

RAM, and are therefore not erasable.For any of these memory erasure options, you must first set theRC2000MKII to LEARN mode.

Erasing the memory assigned to a particular button:Press and hold the CLEAR button ⁄4 and press the button that you wish toerase 2 times. The code previously learned by that button will be erased,and will then be either empty, or the original factory provided RC-5 codewill re-appear in its place.

7

Erasing the memory assigned to a DIRECT buttons:All codes and names which were previously memorized for each of thefunctions (such as TV, LD, VCR, etc.) in pages can be erased. Press andhold the CLEAR button D and press the < or > button 8 2 times. Youwill see the “DIR- CLR?” (direct button - clear?) indication in the LCDwindow (see Figure 5). If you wish to go ahead and clear all of the memo-rized codes for that DIRECT button (8 buttons24), press the OK button

Figure 5

Erasing the memory assigned to each function command set:All codes and names which were previously memorized for each of thefunctions (such as TV, LD, VCR, etc.) can be erased.Press and hold the CLEAR button D, and press the function button thatyou want to erase 2 times. You will see the “FNC - CLR?” (function -clear?) indication in the LCD window (see Figure 6).

Figure 6

If you wish to go ahead and clear all of the memorized codes for thatfunction button, press the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6. After clear-ing the memory contents for that function, the RC2000MKII will restoreany factory programmed RC-5 codes for the function, if any, or will sim-ply be empty.If you want to cancel the memory clear operation, do not press the “OK”button, but instead simply touch any other button. When you clear all thecommands associated with a function button, all of the learned directfunction commands (D-1 through D-8, pages 1 through 4) and controlbuttons, ten keypad, etc are cleared as well.

Complete erasure:While holding the CLEAR button D depressed, press both of the ONand OFF POWER buttons 4 simultaneously; “ALL-CLR?” is displayedon the LCD window (see Figure 7).

Figure 7

If you wish to finalize the complete erasure process, press the OK buttonwithin the cursor keys F. If you do not wish to proceed with the com-plete erasure process, simply press any key other than OK. Remember,the RC-5 codes as supplied from the factory cannot be erased frommemory, but they can be replaced with different codes as you wish.• By now, you have learned how to memorize codes from other brands

of components, including changing the various function, status, anddirect function names.Before continuing on to the more advanced RC2000MKII program-ming techniques, you may wish to continue “teaching” theRC2000MKII remote control with any or all other commands for othercomponents in your system. When you feel you’ve transferred as manydifferent commands from other components into the RC2000MKII asyou’d like, and possibly changed some or all of their names as well,then feel free to proceed to the next section.

• The all-clear operation takes about 15 seconds after the OK button ispressed.

Advanced Programming TechniquesMacro mode:The word “macro” is used to describe a series of specific steps carriedout in sequence. For example, a word processing program can use mac-ros to carry out common repetitive typing tasks. During the day to dayoperation of an A/V system, you might find yourself pressing the samecombination of remote control buttons often.The RC2000MKII features the ability to “learn” a sequence of infraredcommands, and “assign” that sequence to a single button, called a MACRObutton 6. Then, when you want to achieve a specific result, you canactivate a macro button to begin sending out a series of commands. Forexample, suppose you wish to activate your A/V system, and watch amovie on laser disc. A single macro button could send out the followingcommands in this suggested sequence:• Turn the main amp power on, then turn the TV power on, then switch

the TV to the AUX video input, then change the amp to the laser disc(LD) input, then turn the LD player power on, then activate the LDplay command, then set the amp surround sound mode to Dolby ProLogic.

The above 7 step sequence can be programmed into a single macro but-ton, and can be used anytime you want to watch a LD movie. Othermacro functions could be used for CD listening, or any other sequence ofsteps that you regularly perform while controlling your A/V system.Macro commands are available when the RC2000MKII is set to eitherUSE modes.To program a macro, first identify which commands you wish to memo-rize, and note if any commands must be in a specific order (for example,before you can activate an amplifier’s surround mode, the amp must firstbe turned on).

1. Press the MACRO 2 operation mode button with the tip of a paperclip. Within the LCD window, the MACRO indication appears, thenthe LEARN indicator starts blinking (see Figure 8).

Figure 8

If a macro was previously programmed, one or more of the numericindicators at the bottom of the LCD window will appear with a boxaround it.

2. Press macro button 1 6 to begin memorizing the various codes. Inthe LCD display window the indicator “M1-00” appears in the statusline b (see Figure 9).

The “M1-00” indication signifies Macro number 1, no steps yet pro-grammed. As each macro step is programmed, the “00” indicator willadvance by one digit-”01”, “02”, etc. After the first macro step is pro-grammed, two additional digits (with a decimal in between) become vis-ible at the end of the status line, showing the timing value for each step(see Figure 10).

3. Press the command buttons in the desired sequence. When you pressa command button to be learned into the macro sequence, its namewill appear within the LCD window. Every time you press anotherremote command, the macro step number increases one by one.

4. It is possible during macro programming to adjust the timing of theinterval between several macro steps. Using the cursor keys ⁄6, theinterval between macro playback steps can be increased or decreasedin 1/2 second steps, over the range beginning at 1/2 second up to 10seconds. For example, when the indicator shows “0.5 SEC”, if youpress the § direction key, the interval time would change to 10 sec-onds, then with another press of the § direction key, it would changeto 9.5 seconds, etc. Use the © direction key to increase the intervaltime, and use the § direction key to decrease the interval time.Some equipment may not be able to receive infrared commands inone-half second steps. If after programming a macro you find thatthe sequence was not properly carried out, you may wish to experi-ment with different sequence timings to obtain the correct operationresults, by using the adjustment method described above.Within each macro button, up to 20 steps can be memorized. In theevent that you wish to memorize more than 20 steps per macro, thenpress another MACRO2 button 6 , and follow the above operations.A maximum of 80 steps can be programmed this way. However, youwill probably find that 20 steps is more than enough to carry outeven the most complex macro instructions to achieve a specific hometheater operating result.

Note: To memorize the cursor button F , press and hold theLIGHTING button J before pressing the cursor button.

When programming macro steps, note that the following but-tons would not normally be included in a macro sequence,and are therefore not available for inclusion in a macro:MODE 1, MACRO 2, CLONE 3, PAGE 8, VOLUME A, MEMOC,CLEAR D and LIGHTING J.To check to see which MACRO buttons 6 have been programmed withmacros, at the beginning of the macro learning sequence the four numeri-cal (1 through 4) indicators at the bottom of the LCD window will showa box around the number for each MACRO button that already has amacro assigned to it (see Figure 11, which shows that only MACRO but-ton number 1 has a macro assigned to it).

Figure 11

In the event that you wish to revise a programmed macro sequence, searchthe step number you wish to change by using the cursor button ▲ and ▼⁄6, and then re-enter the new command. If you memorized different com-mands than have already been programmed, then the previous macro se-quence will be erased and re-written over with the new sequence. To addthe new command, press the MEMO button at your desired point. Todelete the sequence, press the CLEAR button at your desired point.During macro programming, if a button is not pressed within 1 minutes,the mode will automatically revert to the original mode (USE).When you have completed the macro programming sequence, press theMACRO 2 operation button with the the tip of a paper clip. The “END”indication appears in the LCD display window. When you release theMACRO button, all indications will revert to the initial status.There is one more important point to note about programming a macrosequence. During a macro sequence, you may include more than onefunction selection button to access some transport and/or other commands.Depending on the macro sequence, this might result in the amplifier orreceiver’s function selection to be inadvertently changed as well whenthe macro is played back. The RC2000MKII has a special feature toprevent this from occurring, allowing you to access the special commandsavailable under each RC2000MKII function button during a macro play-back sequence, while at the same time prevent the amplifier or receiverfrom constantly switching its input source back and forth at the sametime.

During the programming sequence, just remember that if you wish toactivate a specific input selector on your amplifier or receiver, make surethat you press the desired input selection button FIRST. Subsequent func-tion button selections can be incorporated in the macro sequence, but onplayback, the RC2000MKII will only send out a function selection infra-red command to the amplifier or receiver based upon the first functioncommand used in the macro sequence.For example, you may wish to have a macro sequence which activatesthe laser disc player input on your amplifier or receiver, and then haveadditional commands in the sequence to instruct your TV set to switch toan external video source to receive the laser disc video signal. During themacro programming, make sure that you press the LD function selectorbutton BEFORE you press any of the other function selector buttons inthe sequence. You can then include any of the TV commands by pressingthe TV function selector button, later in the sequence. When this macrois next used (played back), the RC2000MKII will send out the commandto change the amplifier or receiver’s input selector to laser disc input(since its function selector button was the first one programmed into thatmacro sequence), and will not subsequently change the amplifier or re-ceiver’s input to TV (but will send out any special TV commands thatyou included in the macro sequence).

Note: To AMP button is not include the above functions buttons.

Programming a macro under a function selector key:If you wish, you can also program a macro that can be activated by press-ing one of the function selector 9 keys. The programming steps aresimilar to the steps outlined for programming a macro number button 6.The following example shows how to program a macro under the LD(laser disc) function selector 9:(activate the main amplifier’s power on, switch the source to laser disc,switch the amplifier’s surround mode to PRO LOGIC, switch on the tel-evision, switch to the television’s AUX video input, power up the laserdisc player, and begin laser disc playback)

1. Press the MACRO 2 operation mode button with the tip of a paperclip.

2. Press the LD function button 9.3. Press the following buttons:

POWER ON, LD, AMP, direct function D-5 (PRO LOGIC selector)in page 1, TV*, SOURCE ON, direct function D-4 (VIDEO inputselector) in page 1, LD*, SOURCE ON, and PLAY.

4. Press the MACRO 2 button with the tip of a paper clip. TheRC2000MKII will revert to the normal mode and save the macrounder the LD function button.

5. To execute the new macro sequence, press twice and hold the LDfunction selector button for 3 seconds.

2. The macro sequence will begin, and the remote control codes will besent from the RC2000MKII and the display will show the names ofthe transmitted codes.

3. When the macro transmit sequence has ended, the RC2000MKII willreturn to the same mode before the macro function was initiated.

Now that we’ve explained how to program a macro, perhapsthe following suggested example can help you become morefamiliar with the process:(to switch the RC2000MKII to CD, then initiate CD playback, and go totrack 3 on the CD)

1. Press the MACRO x operation mode button with the tip of a paperclip.

2. Press one of the MACRO buttons (1 through 4).3. Press the following buttons:

• CD function selector, then numeric key pad 3, then transport con-trol key pad PLAY key. (see Figures 13, 14, and 15)

Figure 13 Figure 14 Figure 15

Note that this sequence will operate a Marantz CD player (or any otherCD player equipped with the RC-5 remote control language). If youhave another brand of CD player, you may wish to check its owner’smanual to see if direct track selection is possible via remote, or if themacro sequence needs to be adjusted according to the programming stepsrequired by your CD player.

POWER ON, LD, AMP, direct function D-2 (PRO LOGIC mode),TV*, SOURCE ON, direct function D-4 (VIDEO input selector),LD*, SOURCE ON, and PLAY.

4. Press the MACRO 2 button with the tip of a paper clip. TheRC2000MKII will revert to the normal mode.

5. To execute the new macro sequence, press the appropriate MACRObutton (1 through 4) that you chose at the beginning of the aboveprogramming sequence.

6. RC2000MKII will transmit the programmed code.• Note that the function selector buttons TV and LD marked with

an asterisk (*) in this macro sequence do not actually send outinfrared codes, but simply change over the RC2000MKII’s pro-grammed memory code banks for those respective functions.

If you would like to clear the MACRO programmed sequence(s), pressand hold the CLEAR D button and simultaneously press the appropriateMACRO button (1 through 4) or function button. “M1-CLR?” (macro 1-clear?) appears in the LCD window. Release the buttons, and then pressthe OK button (within the cursor control buttons), and the macro is erased.If you do not wish to erase the macro, simply press any other button (butnot the OK button ).

CLONE mode:Duplicating the memory contents of one RC2000MKII to anotherRC2000MKII.For a complete home theater system, with numerous components frommany different manufacturers, you may find that you have stored dozens,even hundreds of different codes, along with specialized names, macros,etc. We have provided a very quick and simple procedure that allows youto download the entire customized memory contents of one RC2000MKIIremote control into another, fresh RC2000MKII.

To “clone” (duplicate) the memory contents of one RC2000MKIIinto another RC2000MKII, please follow these steps:1. Place the source RC2000MKII (the one with all of the customized

commands, names, macros, macro sequences, and the like) with itsinfrared transmitter window L facing the infrared sensor M of an-other “fresh” RC2000MKII (5 cm, or 2 inches apart).

2. Press the CLONE button 3 of the source RC2000MKII with the tipof a paper clip, and select “CLONE TX” (clone transmit) mode (seeFigure 20).

Figure 20

3. Press the CLONE button 3 of the learning (receiving) RC2000MKIIwith the tip of a paper clip or a similar object, and select “CLONERX” (clone receive mode). Then press the PLAY button E.

Figure 21

4. Press the source RC2000MKII’s transport control PLAY E buttonto begin the infrared data transmission sequence. If you wish toduplicate only 1 to 8 function’s memory, press function button(s)you wish before pressing the PLAY button. Now the “LEARN”indicator starts to blink. (see Figure 23)

Figure 22 Figure 23

After all bars are lit up on both displays, “TX OK” (transmission OK)will appear in the source RC2000MKII’s LCD window, and “RX OK”(reception OK) will appear in the “cloned” RC2000MKII’s LCD win-dow, confirming the end of the copying process (see Figures 24 and 25).

Figure 24 Figure 25

Please be sure that, during the copying process, neither RC2000MKII isphysically disturbed (ideally, they should be placed on a table or othersurface, and not hand-held during the copying process). If, for somereason, the copying process was interrupted, the “clone” RC2000MKII’sLCD display window will indicate “RX NG” (reception no good). Sim-ply begin the clone process anew by repeating the above steps.

Note: The cloning is available between the same remote controlunit series only therefore the RC2000MKII cannot be cloned byRC2000.

5. It the source RC2000MKII’s memory contents are at or near fullcapacity, the copying process will take about 3 minutes. After com-pletion of the copying (cloning) process, press the CLONE button3 on both RC2000MKII’s with the tip of a paper clip, and select theOFF mode.Then, you’ll have two identically programmed RC2000MKII remotes,one of which can again be used as your system’s primary remotecontrol, and you’ll have the added confidence of knowing that in theevent of inadvertent programming (or memory contents being clearedsomehow), you can simply retrieve the “backup” RC2000MKII thatyou’ve safely tucked away, and within minutes restore the program-ming contents of the original RC2000MKII with your customizedconfiguration.

Other FunctionsThe Marantz RC2000MKII includes the ability to tailor the light-ing features according to your preferences. As supplied fromthe factory, the RC2000MKII has a lighting features (and light-ing timings):1. The lighting time is set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds which

you can change if you prefer a different lighting time. If you wish tomaximize battery life, you can defeat the lighting function entirely.There is also a lighting button J, so that in any light situations, youcan activate the backlighting feature. The lighting time in this caseis set at the factory for a period of 2 seconds, which you can alsochange. If you wish to conserve battery power, you can de-activatethe lighting function entirely.

RC-5 Shipped destination:As mentioned earlier in this guide, the RC2000MKII is provided withmany commands from the factory with infrared codes conforming to thePhilips RC-5 remote control language (used by Marantz, Philips, andsome other companies). We have provided two different RC-5 commandcode sets in the RC2000MKII, according to the local requirements ofdifferent markets and the different types of remote control codes used inthose markets. One code set is for North American (US) users, while theother code set is for REST users. Your RC2000MKII has been set at thefactory for US (United States) codes. It can be easily changed, if youwish.

Set-Up:To change the lighting time(s), or the destination setting, please followthese steps:• Select the SETUP mode, by holding the MEMO button C and at the

same time press the OK button within the cursor keys ⁄6. (see Figures26 and 27)

LAMP - Lighting function ON or OFF and TIMEPress the D-5 direct function button, and you can then set the time (inseconds) directly using the numeric key pad B buttons. A time figureconsisting of only 1 digit can be input by pressing the figure then waitingfor 2 seconds or input “0” before entering a desired digit. You can settime in the range from 0 up to 60 seconds (which would use up morebattery life than a lower figure, such as 3 or 5 seconds). “2” is set whenshipped from the factory. You can set “OFF” to input “0”.BEEP soundThe beep sounds when press any buttons.The beep sound level can be set to decrease or increase by pressing theD-6 button. The display indicates “+” indication and the beeps are soundedby pressing the D-6 button. The “+” indication is followed the “+” indi-cation as the beep sound is increaded; + → ++ → +++ → ++++When the “++++” is indicated and the D-6 button is pressed, the mininumlevel “+” is set.“ ” is indicated in LCD window when the beep sound is set.

Note: The beep sound is different between the function buttons andother buttons.

VERPress the D-7 direct function button to switch between US to REST.If you need to change this function, we recommend that you make thechange before you begin “learning” any new infrared codes for otherbrands of equipment in your system.

Note: The name of the DIRECT button will be erased by changingthe VER(sion).

Battery life:• Battery life will vary from user to user, if the remote is used constantly

or only occasionally, including the amount of backlighting usage. Wefeel that you can expect the batteries to last about 4 months, basedupon 15 remote control operations per day (every day), and 3 lightingoperations per day (every day). If the remote is used more often, andif the lighting times are set to longer times than the factory settings,then the battery life may be shortened somewhat.

• As explained earlier in the guide, the RC2000MKII’s sophisticatedbattery conservation system will advise you long before the batterypower is fully exhausted, and will further warn you to replace the bat-teries by simply becoming inoperative at a certain point. The custom-ized memory contents and user-adjusted settings will still be retainedin memory. When you install a fresh set of batteries, the memorycontents are protected always, because the RC2000MKII use the non-volatile memory. Alkaline (and the newer lithium) types are recom-mended for longest battery life.As you become more familiar over time with how you are using theRC2000MKII in your A/V system, you may wish to consider reducingthe lighting time(s) if possible, as this can help to extend the batterylife.

Adjustment of the LCD contrast• The LCD contrast can be adjusted as follows;

Set SETUP mode to the RC2000MKII by pressing the MEMO andOK button. Press the VOL+ to increase the LCD contraset. Press theVOL - to decrease the LCD contrast. Press the OK button to end thissetting and return the original operation.

Direct Command Functions ListingWithin the RC2000MKII LCD window, each of the 8 Direct Functionbuttons has 4 character label attached for pre-programmed remote com-mands. These commands can be used with various Marantz A/V compo-nents, or other components using the Philips RC-5 remote control lan-guage.You can easily replace the factory-supplied remote command codes withdifferent codes from other brands of equipment. Most functions that aresupplied apply to a wide variety of equipment from many companies.The following list shows the remote code assignments for the direct func-tion buttons, for each of the 10 main function selector buttons, as sup-plied from the factory. You can add or replace function commands, in-cluding re-naming them if you wish, in order to customize theRC2000MKII for your own particular selection of A/V components.

Receiving the remote control codesThe RC2000MKII can learn most of the remote control codesfrom various equipment, it learns the full word length of the codeit is receiving.Due to the sensitivity of the receiving LED the RC2000MKII mayalso “learn” noise from fluorescent lights, etc. which can quicklyfill up the memory of the RC2000MKII .In order to maximize the memory capacity of the RC2000MKIIplease pay close attention to the following:

(1) Aim the transmitting remote control at a direct line of thesight to the RC2000MK II remote receiver eye.

(2) Keep 2 inches between transmitting remote and theRC2000MKII receiving eye.
